For a while, there was a drabble war between Periwinkle and myself. She was becoming way too good at it, so I decided to give it a try. Here is my first effort. It's not Earth shattering, but it is exactly 100 words. Tell me what you think.
Oh, and it's titled after one of my favorite BBC sitcoms.
Keeping Up Appearances
“Napoleon, have you seen this?”
Illya handed him a light blue envelope.
“Hmmm, looks like another card from Heather.”
Illya turned away, a deep scowl on his face.
“Illya, you know we have to keep up appearances.”
“I know, but do you have to enjoy it so much?”
Wrapping the beautifully pouting man up in his arms, Napoleon replied, “I enjoy this much more.” He lowered his head and their lips met.
Napoleon suddenly pulled away and headed for the door.
“Where are you going?”
“To keep up appearances.”
The stapler almost hit Napoleon’s head before the door slid shut.
